Chapter 221 Pray to lose?
There are 14 people in the king's roster. After deducting five of them and entering the injury list, there are still nine people left to be available.
Three of them got a non-guarantee contract, which basically made up the numbers...
It means that there are only six players who can play on the Kings.
In this case, if the Grizzlies still can't win, then this team will be too embarrassing.
After the opening, the Grizzlies' core player can also be said to be the leader. The second-year Rahim performed well and played well on both offense and defense.
Of course, this kind of excellence is just a encounter with soft persimmons. If he had matched Barkley, it would have been not so easy.
With Rahim's performance, the Grizzlies had some good advantages at the end of the first quarter and led by 6 points.
From this we can also see how bad the Grizzlies are. None of the five Kings did appear, and they only won six points in a single quarter, and this was the case when Rahim performed well!
What made Davidson speechless was that even the six-point difference was not enough, the Grizzlies could not save them. They were directly chased back by the Kings in the second quarter, and even the Kings were one point ahead at the end of the second quarter!
To talk about why so many points difference were recovered in the second quarter, Christie said she had something to say.
All five players did not appear. The Hot Rod is the highest-paid player on the court at the moment, but he is not the strongest player on the Kings side, Christie is.
Seeing that he was beaten like this by a weak cock like the Grizzlies, Christie broke out in the second quarter, threw 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, brought two free throws, and scored 14 points in a single quarter.
Christie's explosive performance directly caused the fans to scream, and the fans cheered.
Davidson felt very sad. If he continued to play at this pace, he was afraid that he would not be the rhythm of winning.
I was obviously trying so hard that I wanted to lose, but after halftime, the team was still ahead. Who should I ask for advice...
Fortunately, Christie's three-point explosion did not last until the second half, otherwise Davidson would have a headache.
However, even if the offensive end cannot be opened, Christie still used his strong defensive end to lead the King to firmly grasp the score.
When the last two minutes left in the game, the two sides actually tied...
Davidson rolled his eyes and said who believed that he had worked so hard to lose, who would have thought that the Grizzlies would not be able to do this.
Grizzlies head coach Brian Winters looked a little embarrassed.
He is also a head coach who is a player and mainly plays for the Bucks in his career. The No. 32 jersey has also been retired by the Bucks.
Tonight he encountered the most embarrassing scene in his basketball career. The opponent's Kings team was obviously giving warmth, but even so, they failed to get even a point difference in the last two minutes.
Losing to a team like the Kings that can challenge the Bulls is naturally not a shameful thing.
But if you lose to a king who has not appeared, it would be a bit embarrassing...
To be precise, it is quite embarrassing.
Winters had a premonition that his head coaching career, which had just started for more than a year, would probably end soon.
Like Davidson, he also took the position of head coach in 1995.
When the Grizzlies failed to recruit Davidson, they chose Winters, a Bucks celebrity who had no head coaching experience...
Winters led the Grizzlies to a bad record of fifteen wins last season.
There are only 2 wins so far this season. If nothing unexpected happens, he may be one step away from being fired.
This is a typical fan-like fate. Winters and Davidson have become head coaches at the same time, but now the teams they lead are one in the West, and the other in the West, the last.
One is the most dazzling new bishop in the league, and the other is about to be fired.
I'm afraid the Grizzlies are extremely regretful now. I think it would be great if they had released more chips to attract Davidson to the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are indeed weak in foundation, but the king is not much stronger.
Most of the core players of the Kings are done by Davidson. If they had joined the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies would definitely be a team at the league level now.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. The only thing Grizzly management can do now is to sigh and regret it.
Winters prayed in his heart that the Grizzlies players must stand firm in the last two minutes.
If you win this game, everything will be easy to say, but if you lose, the problem will be huge.
Maybe the Grizzlies management opened Winters overnight...
Davidson is also praying that the team will lose. If this game is won again, it will be troublesome next.
Players who have a turnover can't keep four or four off. Not to mention that Petri can't understand it, the players probably can't understand it either.
What Davidson might do next is a two-time rest.
But if you only have two rests on the turn, the king's strength may continue to win a row.
You should know that the Kings have a strong opponent in the early stage. There are no strong opponents in the current schedule until they are against the Bulls.
Even if the two of them keep taking turns to rest, the king may still keep winning streaks.
In this way, if you score a record of dozens of consecutive victories, it will be difficult for Davidson to easily get the nine thousand evolution coins in the future.
...
The head coaches of both sides were praying secretly, and if the fans were allowed to know the content of the prayer, they would probably vomit blood.
There are also head coaches looking forward to losing their own game?!
...
With the last thirty seconds left in the game, the scores of both sides were still tied, and the draw was 83:83.
Judging from this score, the offensive efficiency of both sides tonight was really bad.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if Davidson makes all the main players tonight, it is entirely possible to beat the Grizzlies by 50.
...
Christie made a three-pointer from the outside, but unfortunately he failed to hit the target.
The rebound was snatched by Rahim, and the hot rod was old and short. When it comes to competing for rebounds, how could Rahim be his opponent?
It was the Grizzlies' turn to attack the offensive round. They were not in a hurry to take action this round, but were consuming time.
When the last six seconds left, Rahim made a mid-range shot.
Davidson breathed a sigh of relief, and Rahim stumbled into the basket with this mid-range shot, scoring two points for the Grizzlies.
In the last six seconds, Davidson was too lazy to call a timeout. Christie quickly pushed to the frontcourt, and took a three-pointer from a step forward in the midfield line.
This move directly shocked Winters into a cold sweat, because from his perspective, this ball might hit...
"duang!" The ironclad sound came, and then Rahim protected the rebound, which made Winters breathe a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
